Stopped by on a very cold day to see the incredible work that @brugernes is leading in Copenhagen on hepatitis C testing among people who inject drugs. @DemantJonas @Oevrehusdk @GPRO_Fund @INHepSU @EASLedu #NOhep

Someone must have peed in my Wheaties this morning. I'm feeling a scoche cantankerous. But seems to be a flurry of articles about why little or no progress on #Hep, #Marlaria, #UHC. Hint: Short-term thinking, poor strategy, inadequate funding. Just getting warmed up, too...

Catalytic financing strategies may be required to fully fund national viral #hepatitis elimination programmes. It's likely that financing may need to come from a combination of domestic funding, patient payments and external sources - find out more at hepatitisfinance.org/financi…

Financing Strategies for National Viral Hepatitis Elimination Strategies

From financing within the context of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) to other catalytic funding sources, explore different options for fully funding a national viral hepatitis elimination strategy

Cost of DAAs not the barrier to elimination it once was per @MargaretHellard. Financing the cost of diagnostics is key. We agree! We have scalable model @GPRO_Fund and will test this year via #UHEP. 250K to be screened; 20K treated. @CDAFound #ILC2019 @Homie_Razavi #NOhep

Absolutely. Treatment guidelines are applicable to liver disease. Treat-All is applicable to elimination efforts. Thanks @JJFeld for mentioning Uzbekistan #uhep program where we will test this. @Homie_Razavi @CDAFound

Checking out the hepatitis C testing van behind the main train station in Copenhagen. Peer-led, stigma-free rapid HCV tests for people who inject drugs. Oh and linkage to care...! #ILC2019 #NoHep

The lack of funding continues to be the single greatest obstacle to achieving @WHO #HCV 2030 elimination goals. All the conferences, all the papers, all the hard work of countless passionate people can't change the fact that broad success requires funding. #UHEP

Interesting @CNBC article on #NASH with contribution by @Homie_Razavi @CDAFound. Earlier version stated that #HepC had been "eradicated" so glad to see that they revised it - MUCH work remains in order to reach that goal... cnbc.com/2018/12/21/the-35-b…

I går var vi i Århus og teste for hepC. Vi parkerede den mobile klinik i den gamle Nålepark. Tak til de frivillige sygeplejersker, @christinast1980 og alle de mennesker, der kom forbi.

#HeptatitisC is curable & preventable, but if left untreated can lead to liver cancer. As rates of new cases are rising amidst the #OpioidEpidemic, the national response must include resources dedicated to preventing, tracking & curing the spread of #hepC. ow.ly/LAgI30lzw2d
